WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Naglazyme is used to treat patients with MPS VI disease
(Mucopolysaccharidosis VI).
People with MPS VI disease have either a low level, or no level, of an
enzyme called
N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase, which breaks down specific
substances (glycosaminoglycans) in
the body. As a result, these substances do not get broken down and
processed by the body as they
should. They accumulate in many tissues in the body, which causes the
symptoms of MPS VI.
HOW THIS MEDICINE WORKS
This medicine contains a recombinant enzyme called galsulfase. This
can replace the natural enzyme
which is lacking in MPS VI patients. Treatment has been shown to
improve walking and stair-
climbing ability, and to reduce the levels of glycosaminoglycans in
the body. This medicine may
improve the symptoms of MPS VI.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
As for all lysosomal genetic disorders, it is of primary importance,
especially in severe forms, to
initiate treatment as early as possible, before appearance of
non-reversible clinical manifestations of
the disease.
Naglazyme treatment should be supervised by a physician experienced in
the management of patients
with MPS VI or other inherited metabolic diseases. Administration of
Naglazyme should be carried
out in an appropriate clinical setting where resuscitation equipment
to manage medical emergencies
would be readily available

Posology
The recommended dose regimen for galsulfase is 1 mg/kg body weight
administered once every week
as an intravenous infusion over 4 hours.
